Well, to those of you who read my first (weepy hysterical) post on this board, THANK YOU. (I have calmed down, I promise.)

Well, I go to see my gyno again on Thursday to discuss the results of my lab work and my ultrasounds. However, I do know some of the results, since she sent me to a general MD to start on some meds for IR yesterday.

I'm still trying to figure out some of this. The MD told me that I am only slightly IR (My fasting BS was 116...then after that drinking that stuff it went up....at the 2hr mark it was back down to 86...weird). She said that if it weren't for the PCOS she wouldn't even be putting me on any meds for it. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Anyways, I started on 500MG of Met today...supposed to up it to 1000mg in.......1 week I think. We'll see how that goes.

I'm still trying to decode the rest of my test results....my cholesterol was GREAT--which suprised me since I'm horribly obese.

My testosterone was 75, which supposedly is only on the high end of average. I don't buy that for a freaking minute. I was reading something on one of the stickies here that stated that most people who know what they are talking about think that the HIGHEST a woman's testosterone level should be is 30. THAT WORKS. I mean, if my level is over twice what it is supposed to be, that would definately explain why my nickname is 'Grape Ape' and I have to shave my face and neck AT LEAST once a day!!!

Now....hopefully my GYN realizes this as well....and I'm going to have to do some digging and find out what I need to do to bring that level down.... so much reading to do...so little time.


Thanks for this great board and the great info and the great support!!!!

Hi Bumponalog, welcome to SC... I hope you are finding that this site is great for a lot of things.... it motivates me and and makes me happy to be able to talk to someone in my shoes.... I too am obese and have to shave as well.... I hate it, I hate the way it makes me feel.... I look in the mirror and think women should not have to do this.... My fiance I feel is grossed out by it, but he hides it well. He tells me if it makes me happy then he is happy for me. I know that is sweet but for once I just want to feel like a woman... smooth skin... the kind you see on the commercials, where the man is touching the woman's soft neck.... My fiance touches my neck, and I sometimes cringe, in hopes that he isn't grossed out by the stubble. I did ask him and he said that at first he thought it was different... he didn't say weird or gross some god love him for that. So welcome and I am on your side.
